Located on the wine route and nestled at the foot of the Vosges mountains, close to their highest peak, Soultz was first mentioned in 667. Its name probably comes from "Sulza", a reference to the existence of a saltwater spring.
Thanks to viticulture, the town enjoyed a prosperous Renaissance in the 16th and 17th centuries, as can still be seen in the beautiful residences with stair towers, oriels and buttresses.
This very pleasant town of 7,311 inhabitants seduces and surprises its visitors as they wander through the narrow streets and along the historic circuit of Old Soultz.
You'll be delighted to hear about the illustrious people who have lived here, such as Georges Heckeren d'Anthès, whose castle can still be admired today, and who confronted the Russian poet Pushkin in a fatal duel.
This welcoming town, with its accommodation, restaurants and shops, is the ideal place to discover the Florival valley and all its treasures.
